UNIC’s KMA; Jean Njita stressed on abstention from discrimination, racism and religious intolerance, cautioning youths to filter information on social media, as most may be inspired to engage in uncontrollable vices.

Mrs. Orli GIL emphasized on how the persecution and segregation of Jews by Nazi Germany caused large scale deaths, adding that remembering victims and honoring the survivors is a step towards rejecting hate speeches.

During the question/answer session, students sought to have answers to the following:

Did Germany apologize to the Jews for these heinous crimes?

Are Jews free in Germany today?

Can a Jew get married to a German today?

Why did neighboring countries not stop Nazi Germany from carrying out this plan?

Why should Jews who suffered so much from such atrocities subject Palestinians to sufferings and refuse the creation of a Palestinian State?

Mrs Gil provided answers to each of these questions, and even threw more light on other issues related to the theme, stating that the UN was created to stop such crimes, defend human rights and foster world peace and security.

“The Path to Nazi Genocide” and the “Woman in Gold” were screened for a better understanding of holocaust and its consequences.
